Giving vr a good kicking. And, going up . Err, sideways. This month marks the 25th Anniversary of the Self Checkout. The first one was installed in new york on august five, 1992, in price chopper. So, what does its inventor, doctor howard schneider, remember of it all . I hadnt gone shopping much, so i went to the supermarket near my house with a stopwatch, and i started looking at people checking out, and my stopwatch went click, click it was a mechanical one. And, you know, i said well, what a great environment. This is so messy. Good luck with any machine doing it. And i said, this would be a great problem to solve. And then i started building a machine in my garage. I actually spent every cent i had on parts and i got the first machines built. See, i love self service checkouts, but then im a control freak, but i do believe they save you time. Until they go wrong, at which point they become a right pain in the bagging area. The technology in the machines now is less than it was 25

Im shaun ley. In south africa, leadership confirmed. In kenya, leadership disputed. And as for north korea, is it kimjong un or donald trump who holds all the cards . With me to discuss this weeks displays of leadership are vincent magombe, director of the African Journalists network, africa inform international, Thomas Kielingerfrom germanys die welt, the sudanese writer nesrine malik, and the us born, london based Political Commentator ned temko. Fire and fury. If that wasnt enough, how about military solutions are now fully in place, Locked And Loaded . The us president s tweet on friday. Ned, how much of this is rhetoric bluster, and how much of it reflects a real change in the atmosphere of this relationship that has really been frozen in time for 60 years .
